Such a fun time being silly with these guys! Wade Cota is the lead singer of the band SugarWater, and also came in 4th on this past season of American Idol. We go back to how Tupac inspired Wade to write, why fronting a metal band wasn't for him, and how SugarWater came to be.
Of course I ask about the Idol experience, the good, bad, and what was up with the music choices. Then we talk about the big show on June 28th at Marquee theater, and what they are working on in the studio currently.
I only give a tease of both the Wyves track and the new track from SugarWater, I want you to go and check out both of these bands (Spotify, KWSS, live, etc), but I do let you hear the AustnAmeliA track "Brand New" which features Wade in its entirety at the end.

Oh are we in such a mood this morning! Had Killa Maus and Haley Green join me and we introduce the world to this flower in the desert (just listen, it will make sense). The new single Such A Mood featuring Haley is available now, and we talk about when the full album will drop!
We will also catch up with the lovely Haley and find out what's new with her too (hint: there are new things).

Couldn't get them in the studio, so we had an audio three-way and I interviewed the co-directors of the documentary film "You Racist, Sexist, Bigot." via phone! We chat about motivations for making the film, how Pita and Matty teamed up, and also cover the amazing soundtrack created by local artists in AZ. Plus hear a few selections from the soundtrack!
